About Anxiety & Stress
What you should know
Anxiety and chronic stress aren’t just mental experiences — they have direct physical effects. Elevated cortisol, dysregulated autonomic function, and a persistently activated sympathetic nervous system create real physiological changes in the body: muscle tension, sleep disruption, digestive dysfunction, immune suppression, and chronic pain. Acupuncture has been shown in clinical research to modulate the autonomic nervous system, reduce cortisol, increase GABA activity, and activate the parasympathetic response — the body’s “rest and repair” state.
Our approach
How Acupuncture Helps with Anxiety and Stress
Treatment addresses both the immediate symptoms and the underlying nervous system dysregulation that drives chronic stress and anxiety. Points are selected to calm the heart and mind, regulate the HPA axis (the brain–body stress response system), support adrenal function and cortisol regulation, and address specific physical symptoms like tension, insomnia, digestive upset, or heart palpitations. Sessions often produce a deeply relaxed, parasympathetic state that many patients describe as unlike anything else they've experienced. Over a course of treatment, these effects become more sustained between sessions as the nervous system recalibrates.
Acupuncture for anxiety and stress may be appropriate if you experience generalized anxiety, situational stress, or anxiety related to life changes, physical symptoms of stress including insomnia, tension, or digestive issues, burnout or adrenal fatigue, or if you are looking for a non-pharmaceutical approach to managing anxiety — whether alone or alongside therapy or medication. New patients receive a full intake. We accept most major insurance plans.
